It occurs to me that, the fact that all of these developers felt a need to band together and essentially create a re-imagined version of the existing calamity mod makes the title of this discussion a very plausible case?

I've always been personally dissatisfied with the direction original calamity has gone with, turning Terraria into something that feels like much more of a restrictive, overly epic and edgy RPG, and to use Sorbet Cafe's words, what feels like a single person's view of the game and how it should be. Rather than trying to expand upon the game that is Terraria itself. And for that, and other related reasons, I have been positioning myself very sternly against the Calamity mod in recent years.

Should I be expecting Calamity Fables to implement these familiar art, elements of the game and its mechanics in a much more different direction compared to Calamity? Or would it simply be a much similar, only more polished up version of it.
